Astrology & Profession: Astrological Principles Behind Career Selection, Downfall and Resurrection

 

Introduction

Planets and Nakshatras affect human life as well as our profession. Every person has to choose a profession for his livelihood and it depends on his skills and abilities. Parents send their children to schools and colleges to develop skills as nature supports learning in this stage of life. Children learn quickly, so Mercury in astrology represents skills and childhood status.

Parents are always curious to know what their children will become when they grow up and what profession they will take up. Therefore, the choice of profession becomes very important. However, once a profession is chosen it is not necessary that a person stays in the same profession for life. Due to the various options available and the rapidly changing economic scenario, changing professions has now become a common thing. People often ask whether they will do a job or a business and which profession will be better for them. Today in the age of technology and due to the changing political scenario globally, employment and business get badly affected. Jobs that were available a few years ago are no longer available and many businesses are severely affected.

Layoffs are common and often we hear such news. Therefore, people are scared about the future of their career because when the source of income stops, the mind also stops working and some people are not able to face the adverse circumstances of life and some of them take wrong steps. Our life provides many types of good and bad experiences and all of them together give birth to a very mature and unwavering person. A strong person is one who does not bow down to adversity, who struggles and overcomes the storms and stress of life. Advancement in life is not easy and cheap, it comes through voluntary and persistent effort.

The Sun provides the strength to fight all obstacles in life. A strong Sun indicates vigour and vitality and such a person never bows down to circumstances. The Sun is the source of light. As soon as the Sun comes, darkness disappears as if it never existed. Sun means moving forward and pushing back the darkness. If a person surrenders to the darkness of life then his Sun becomes weak. The one who fights with darkness, his Sun becomes strong and one day light is born within him. That is why a person should never surrender to darkness. That is why suicide is considered a sin in every religion. The person who deliberately gave up the search for light and succumbed to darkness, weakened his Sun. He has given birth to cowardice within himself. The one who searches for light never succumbs to darkness. Darkness can never be so powerful that it can bend the light because no matter how long the night is, morning always comes and this is the eternal truth.

If one door is closed in life, the other opens. But if a person is knocking on the door due to some external influence without realizing his own potential, then the chances of such a door opening are very less. In such a situation, astrology helps in choosing the right direction for career by recognizing our inner nature. It helps in identifying the areas where you can focus your energy.

Jupiter is the planet that brings expansion in our lives. To be lucky in your endeavors, one needs the strength of Jupiter. The presence of Jupiter indicates that the person gets expansion easily in matters related to that house. But when a person starts getting things easily in life, bad habits start taking birth in him. Where the activity of expansion is involved, it should be controlled, otherwise it creates many evils.

People do not value whatever comes easily in life. They forget to set limits in their activities of expansion and when things cross their limits the result of a benefic planet becomes negative. The ancient sutra (Sthan Hani Karo Jeeva) says that Jupiter harms the place where it is placed and this is true if we forget to set limits. For example, excessive consumption of sugar can alter the taste buds. Excessive speed can cause accidents, so brakes are necessary.

Venus signifies freshness, the ability to understand subtle things, and the ability to work flawlessly. It is not possible to reach the top in just one or two attempts. A person climbing to the top fails many times, but the desire to reach the heights always call him. Venus being exalted in Pisces indicates this because tireless efforts are required to transform sexual energy into spiritual energy. Venus symbolizes the highest level of perfection; hence, the gemstone of Venus is diamond. After years of pressure and heat, ordinary coal turns into precious diamond.

Saturn is the lord of karma and gives pressure and heat with the aim that one day the person will become like a diamond. It creates obstacles and hindrances in life. Saturn forces the person to work hard and teaches him to be patient in life as it takes millions of years to turn coal into a diamond. Every pressure given by Saturn is a process of conversion. Saturn acts as a cleaner and cleans everything that has become garbage in our lives. But people get attached to their garbage and are not ready to remove it from their lives.

When garbage accumulates on the road and the cleaner does not come, then after a few days it becomes impossible to walk. The working style of Saturn is also similar to that of the garbage cleaner. When garbage accumulates everywhere, life becomes difficult, diseases start spreading, and progress stops. Therefore, for development, it is necessary to remove the garbage first. Development cannot happen without removing the garbage, whether it is a house or a city or a country.

The same principle applies to every person's life as well. Without removing the garbage, no one can move forward in life, and due to our ignorance, pebbles and garbage get collected, so cleanliness is necessary for development. Saturn is harsh and shows no mercy when the question of removal of waste comes, without which there is no growth. Therefore, the ancient sutra (Sthan Vridhi Karo Shani) is right about Saturn that where it is placed, it increases the results of that place by removing all the dirt of that place.

The position of Saturn in the horoscope indicates that there is a lot of scope for progress in that place, but hard work is required. Saturn never gives any fruit without hard work. The position of Saturn also indicates that we should be ready to work hard as there are many hurdles to cross. When one gets success after hard work then happiness is something else and this is a real success. Therefore;

·       Saturn represents pressure and pain and Venus represents pleasure and happiness.

·       Saturn represents hard work and Venus represents celebration.

·       Saturn is stubborn and Venus is tender but they both are friends.

·       Saturn is a cruel planet. On one hand, it blocks the path and on the other hand, it removes unnecessary rocks so that water can flow easily.

The nature of water is to flow but it cannot remove the stone coming in its way. It needs the help of Saturn who is ruthless in putting and throwing stones. Venus is delicate, sensitive, and represents fresh water. Venus needs the strong and firm hands of Saturn to achieve its purpose just like water needs the support of rocks to flow in a direction. Therefore, it is impossible for Venus to achieve anything without the help of Saturn. Saturn makes way for Venus which represents ultimate achievement, but a weak Venus indicates that the native seeks sensual pleasures and often attends parties without making any effort.

The transit of Saturn plays an important role in life. Saturn removes every adulteration, every falsehood, and every garbage then only the truth remains. Saturn clears every unnecessary thing in life. That is why it is said that Saturn clears away all the dirt and shows the real truth to the person.

Today, this human body which is liked by many people, but a day will come when no one will like it. One day it will turn into waste and people will throw it in the crematorium and burn it like garbage. When Saturn transits on the ascendant it gives disease, it means that some part of the body has become waste and one day the whole body will become waste. Every waste has to be thrown away, but people form attachment to their garbage and do not want to remove it. They keep collecting it for years but they do not know that it has become a burden for their development.

Saturn throws away all the garbage and has to use force if the person is not ready to leave it. So, Saturn is harsh because it does not allow any kind of garbage to be kept in our lives. When Sade Sati starts people start getting scared because they are not ready to throw away their garbage and the conflict starts. They keep collecting it for years and think that there are valuable things in their collection. But Saturn does not allow to keep anything that has become waste. So, Saturn removes the ego in Sade Sati because it is completely useless but people are not ready to throw it away. Then Saturn uses force and removes the cause of ego, so, people lose wealth, power, and position in their Sade Sati. The transit of Saturn clears everything, the waste has gone and now life can move forward (Sthan Vridhi Karo Shani).

Mars provides energy to achieve the goal and the Moon represents our mind. Everything in this world is a play of our mind. When the mind stops, everything stops, so the position of the Moon plays an important role in making any decision in life.

In astrology, the horoscope is divided into two axes - day (above the horizon) and night (below the horizon) hemispheres. The first house to the seventh house is called the day part or upper half. Strong planets placed above the horizon in the horoscope indicate the popularity and prosperity of the person. It indicates the external focus like professional achievement and interpersonal relationships. Planets placed below the horizon indicate the internal focus of the person like domestic environment, self, family, creativity, etc. Planetary transit plays a vital role in determining the favorable time. Planning to change your career (from job to business and vice versa) depends on your planetary position, dasha, and transit. Your horoscope is your secret that helps you to discover your talent and avoid making wrong decisions.

“There is no better boat than a horoscope to help a man cross over the sea of life.” - Varaha Mihira
